PSNI + HETMA = ISE 2026

PSNI Global Alliance is at ISE 2026 talking about the part of AV that often matters most in higher ed: consistent delivery and support, not just the hardware. In this conversation with Executive Director Chris Miller, we dig into why outcomes and user experience have to lead the discussion, especially as software and AI reshape expectations. He also explains how PSNI’s global network of vetted integrators is built around trust and a high membership bar, because quality is only as strong as the weakest link. If you are on-site in Barcelona, you can find PSNI at Booth 2W480. Read More

XTEN-AV + HETMA = ISE 2026

XTEN-AV is at ISE 2026 showing how to speed up the parts of AV work that usually eat the most time: design, documentation, quoting, and keeping everything aligned when requirements change. In this quick conversation with co-founder Sahil Dhingra, we talk about why that matters for higher ed teams trying to standardize room types and deliver more projects with the same staffing. We also dig into XAVIA, XTEN-AV’s AI agent built to turn text or voice inputs into schematics and supporting documentation like rack elevations and cable schedules. If you are on-site in Barcelona, you can find XTEN-AV in Hall 1, Booth 1G800. Read More

NETGEAR AV + HETMA = ISE 2026

NETGEAR AV is at ISE 2026 talking about the part of modern AV that has to be right before anything else works: the network. In this quick show-floor conversation with Richard Jonker, the focus is what AV over IP really means for higher ed, including why low latency matters, how campuses end up supporting multiple standards and profiles, and why “simple” only stays simple when the infrastructure is designed to scale. The conversation also stays practical on manageability and security, including why you cannot cloud-manage a USB cable and what it looks like to do more with less as expectations keep rising. If you are in Barcelona, NETGEAR AV is at Booth 2U240. Read More

ScreenBeam + HETMA = ISE 2026

This episode is a quick, on-the-show-floor conversation with Jay Taylor from ScreenBeam at ISE 2026. We talk through what ScreenBeam is focused on this year at Booth 2V150, including updates around active learning workflows, advanced video routing, and BrowserCast, plus where their roadmap has shifted based on what customers are asking for. A big chunk of the discussion is about campus-wide communication on top of the displays you already have, including administrative tools for digital signage, messaging, and alerts, and why that matters operationally in higher ed. If you are thinking about standardizing wireless display or reducing the number of separate systems you support across campus, this is a useful listen. Read More
